The Citation Group leading global compliance specialist, has acquired QuiqSolutions, a provider of cloud-based compliance and quality management solutions for health and social care providers, NHS Trusts, local authorities, schools and multi-academy trusts around the UK.
Established in 2011, QuiqSolutions provide essential tracking and reporting tools which help Care sector clients easily manage compliance assurance within their organisations and sphere of responsibility. This includes enabling organisations to prepare for and make readily available information required for CQC inspections or other regular audits, as well as prepare surveys and action plans. These tools are equally as suitable for clients with hundreds of sites as those operating from a single site.
The Citation Group’s goal is to help simplify mission-critical and regulatory compliance tasks, so organisations can focus on what they do best – growing and thriving. Citation has a long history of working with QuiqSolutions, including a partnership which has been in place since 2015 to provide its CQC Pro product to Citation’s Care sector clients.
By integrating QuiqSolutions’ offerings into Citation’s product suite, The Citation Group will be able to support even more care sector clients with these market-leading tools and advice. Citation has over 2,000 Care sector clients across the UK today and this acquisition complements the bespoke care solutions they’re already benefiting from.
This is the fifth acquisition The Citation Group has made so far in 2023, including its recent expansion into North America through the acquisition of HRdownloads – a leading Canadian HR software and service provider.
Neal Moores, Founder of QuiqSolutions, said:
“I’m excited about today’s announcement and see huge further potential for QuiqSolutions as part of The Citation Group. We first started working with Citation in 2015, delivering our CQC Pro product to its client base, and have had tremendous success with Citation’s support. Citation shares the same focus and commitment to developing simple and effective quality and compliance tools and has an even broader suite of solutions our clients can benefit from. I’m confident the business will go from strength to strength over the coming months and years.”
Chris Morris, Group CEO of The Citation Group, said:
“We are thrilled to welcome QuiqSolutions to The Citation Group family and are proud of this latest acquisition, which is our seventh in the last 12 months. The Citation Group is committed to delivering top-quality compliance solutions for businesses to successfully operate and grow in today’s evolving compliance landscape. QuiqSolutions’ suite of compliance tools and impressive relationships with their clients is a fantastic addition to our business. It is a great company that shares our mission to help build safer, sustainable and more successful organisations and will strengthen our existing suite of solutions.”
